i finally got a date!!

i just found out that my surgery will be on nov. 10th    i am excited but scared all at the same time...i start my liquid diet next tuesday so this week i am gonna try to have some of my favorite meals since it will be a while before i get to try them after surgery...wish me luck :)

Congrats on your date. I hope to be joining you soon after. I have my consult with Dr. Ku on 11/3 then just a matter of insurance approval. Hope it is that simple:)

Congratulations on getting your date!!!  Try not to go too crazy with 'last meals'---you don't want to gain weight and need to lose more before surgery.   And you'll be able to enjoy a lot of your favorite foods after surgery.  They may need to be modified, but you won't be deprived of anything.  It's normal to be excited and scared---I know I felt all those things too.

Good luck!

Julia

woohoo on your date!!

Best of luck with your preparations!

Let me share my "last meal" story. It wasn't really a huge meal - it was one slice of pizza at Costco, with a diet Coke. And the particular slice I got was not even all that good. That evening was also the end of my diet Coke habit (every day since college....).

You'll find a whole new list of favorites after surgery!

congrats on getting your date.  Just remember you will be able to eat again.. there is no deprivation with this thing... just new ways of doing things!

We'll make room for you on the bench!

YAH!!!  Mine is November 11th!!  I understand how you feel 100%, if you need someone to talk to in the upcoming months who is going through it too, I am your girl!!!  I am trying really hard not to do the "last supper" thing.  When I told my husband I got my date his first word " live it up", geesh thanks hunny!!  Congrats 20 and 21 days and counting. ~Anita~

Congratulations on your date!

Congrats. Looks like we are going to overload the bench in November. I too thought about making a list of all the foods I want to eat, but thought twice I did not want to gain back any weight that I have lost. I figured as one last harrahhh we will have hot wings and beer and then burry it...  I feel the same way I am so excited but scared of the unknown. Good Luck and Congrats again. I will be on that bench a week after you and Anita!
